The Burns Classic Basketball Tournament

When: Meet at AkagenoAn English School (Kevin`s House) at 5:30PM on Sunday,
October 23rd. We will walk over the gym from there.

Cost: Not so much but we will need to rent a basketball court. We will share in
the cost for gym rental. But it shouldn`t be too expensive--maybe a couple
hundred yen each. Usually it is about
300Yen per person. It may be less or a little more.

Where: Meet at AkagenoAn English School http://www.eikaiwa1.com
Address Iizawa 242-23 Minami Ashigara City, Kanagawa, Japan
We will play from 6-8PM at the local Iizawa Community Centre next to the
swimming pool (next to Minami Ashigara Kindergarten) on Sunday, October 23rd

How to get there?

Take the Daiyuzan Line from Odawara Station and get off at the end of the line
which is Daiyuzan Station. Leave by the only exit. Walk out to the main road
right in front of you and head left down that road. Within five minutes or less
you should come to a bridge over a river. Cross the bridge and keep
going straight. After the bridge you will see a large Victorian style house
from Canada http://www.eikaiwa1.com Meet us here at 5:30PM.
